  • Its a plague in online games. If its anything like real life I assume that people just get a kick out of doing it and getting away with it. Stomping people and being elitist about it. I guess that’s the reason why people smurf too.

    Like a rich kid feeling better than the rest because dad=rich and your dad is not.

    People can do whatever they want in single player games. Run with infinite ammo, god mode, flying, unlock all skills at lvl 1, increase stats/or resources on demand. I dont care. Maybe it takes the edge off or maybe they want to go through the campaign story without all the grinding after a long day at work or school.

    I’m not complaining. I won’t lose any sleep over it. If it fulfills your power fantasy or whatever. Go for it. You’re not hurting anyone.

    But the people who cheat in online games can piss right off. They’re ruining of for everyone on multiple levels ( kernel AC, online enjoyment, … ).

    I recently saw a documentary clip on how people cheat nowadays with arduinos and PIs to circumvent kernel anti cheat and stuff. It was fucking depressing.

    If you get joy from ruining other people their day you need to go outside, touch some grass and contemplate your life’s choices.

    The same goes for smurfs. If you want to stomp on something then go stomp on very easy bots while they aren’t sentient yet.

    What I meant was:

    In the screenshot it said x = *(++p) and iirc that is not the same as saying x = *(p++) or x = *(p += 1)

    As in my example using ++p will return the new value after increment and p++ or p+=1 will return the value before the increment happens, and then increment the variable.

    Or at least that is how I remember it working based on other languages.

    I’m not sure what the * does, but I’m assuming it might be a pointer reference? I’ve never really learned how to code in c or c++ specifically. Though in other languages ( like PHP which is based on C ) there is a distinct difference between ++p and (p++ or p+= 1)

    The last two behave the same. Though it has been years since I did a lot of coding. Which is why I asked.

    I’ll install the latest PHP runtime tonight and give it a try xD



  • Lets get one thing straight.

    This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.

    I’ve had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.

    So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.


  • Honestly I always preferred tabs for indentation and spaces for aligning. It doesn’t break anyone’s experience. And if somebody wants two spaces for a two-space-tab-width for indentation and other people prefer four. That will work just fine.

    I hate seeing 2 space indents. Unreadable AF ( to me ). At least this way I can easily work in the same codebase without somebody being annoyed ( except for the crying about the tabs )
